This was a great tour! The tour...

Julie A M, Nov 2017

This was a great tour! The tour company was great to work with and our guide, Florin, was awesome! Aside from the history lessons Florin provided, he took great care of us. Always made sure we got checked into our hotels without incident. The castles, monasteries and citadels we visited were amazing. Sibiu was a favorite ... a charming Old Town. Romania is a beautiful country full of history, beauty, great food and wonderful people. I would definitely recommend!!
